Take the drive up Whiteface mountain for spectacular views of the Adirondack high peaks and lakes. On a clear day, the views stretch as far as Vermont and Canada.
After parking, there is an elevator to the summit at 4,867 ft. You can either hike to the summit, or take the elevator that’s carved in the mountain. The hiking path has a rail, the boulders can have slippery spots so be careful.
There is a toll entrance fee, $25 for driver, + $20 per passenger. Kids under 6 are free.

FUN FACT : This is the hiking path where Matt proposed!
